"No, for then the plotters would be warned and would not carry out their plans. What we must do is to catch them alive and make them talk I mean, you'll make them talk, since I, as a priest, must not meddle in such matters. Listen, here's where you win crosses and stars. I ask only that you make due acknowledgment that it was I who warned you."
Andrew Cogglesby's brother to do something for him. You won't have such another chance of humbling them both both! I told you his mother is at an inn here.

Frederick looked at him, sternly for a moment. "It is unnecessary, sir, for me to particularize," he said. "You know your crimes and their purpose so do I.
